That's odd, I thought with hyperthyroidism they would lose weight. Where hypothyroidism would have them gain weight. Am I wrong??? Just curious, because I myself have been both, went from hyper to hypo, and lost a lot of weight when it was hyper. I am now on thyroid medication for hypothyroidism and my weight has been steady...with the right dose.
